WAWA/WeAreWideAwake is my Public Service to America as a muckracker who has journeyed seven times to Israel Palestine since June 2005.
WAWA is dedicated to confronting media and governments that shield the whole
truth.

We who Are Wide
Awake are compelled by the "fierce urgency of Now" [Rev MLK, Jr.] to raise
awareness and promote the human dialogue about many of the crucial issues of our
day: the state of our Union and in protection of democracy, what life is like
under military occupation in Palestine, the Christian EXODUS from the Holy Land,
and spirituality-from a Theologically Liberated Christian Anarchist
POV.

"Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all...and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave...a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils."George Washington's Farewell Address - 1796

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that, among these, are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; and, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. -July 4, 1776. The Declaration of Independence

December 30, 2010: The ties that link the WikiLeaks affair to a U.S. intelligence operation

WMR has learned from a long-time Republican Party consultant that the CIA used
Sweden to launder the transfer to Wikileaks of carefully screened and redacted
State Department cables and the subsequent release of the cables to
pre-selected corporate news media entities. Sweden was chosen because of its
so-called "press freedom and freedom of expression" traditions in an
effort to make the release of the cables by Wikileaks appear to be unconnected
to a covert CIA and Pentagon psychological operations program designed to place
further controls on the Internet.

The Wikileaks operation was conducted with the help of two leading Swedish
political leaders, both of whom have maintained a long association with the CIA
and associated U.S. government entities. One of the conspirators is Swedish
Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt who was discovered in high school in Sweden by
U.S. Republican Party operative Karl Rove. Rove, a former executive director of
the College Republicans, was, in the early 1980s, a GOP campaign consultant who
also began conducting overseas operations for the International Republican
Institute (IRI) after its founding in 1983 as an overseas outreach branch of
the Republicans --thanks to funding from the CIA-connected US Agency for
International Development (USAID) and the National Endowment for Democracy, as
well as the State Department.

In 1983, the same year the IRI was founded, Reinfeldt joined the Moderate Youth
League, the youth wing of the Swedish Moderate Party, with Rove's
encouragement. Just as Rove had used political chicanery in 1973 to defeat two
opponents --Robert Edgeworth and Terry Dolan -- to be elected chairman of the
College Republicans, Reinfeldt ousted Moderate Youth League chairman Ulf
Kristersson at the league's convention in Lycksele in 1992. Reinfeldt, the
leader of conservative insurgents, garnered 58 votes to 55 for Kristersson, who
represented the party's libertarian wing.

After the defeat of the Moderate Party government of Prime Minister Carl Bildt
in 1994, Reinfeldt, in Rovian fashion, began to criticize the party leader.
Reinfeldlt was also a strong critic of the modern Swedish welfare state. In
2003, Reinfeldt became Moderate Party leader and in 2006 his right-of-center
coalition defeated the Social Democrats making Reinfeldt the Prime Minister.

One of Reinfeldt's closest advisers is Moderate Party member of parliament and avid
anti-communist Council of Europe parliamentary official Goran Lindblad.
Lindblad has been fond of offering political asylum and sanctuary in Sweden to
dissidents, but not just any dissidents, only those that support an agenda in
concert with the agenda pushed by the likes of Freedom House of New York and
George Soros's Open Society Institute, neo-con contrivances that oppose any
form of communism, whether in China or Cuba, or any left-wing socialist
governments for that matter -- the very same agenda promoted by Wikileaks.

Although it is not certain that Lindblad helped lay the groundwork for the
invitation to Wikileaks's founder Julian Assange to move his operations -- and
his quarter million State Department cable cache -- to Sweden, there is yet another
connection between a Swedish politician involved in the Assange criminal
investigation for sex crimes in Sweden and the CIA.

Assange's two female accusers' legal representation in Sweden is being
handled by the law firm Borgström & Bodstrom. The Bodstrom on the law
office shingle hanging in Stockholm is Thomas Bodstrom, the Swedish Justice
Minister from 2000 to 2006 in the Social Democratic government of Prime
Minister Goran Persson. From 2006 to October 2010, Bodstrom was chairman of the
Swedish parliament's Justice committee. After losing his chairmanship, Bodstrom
moved in November 2010, along with his family, to northern Virginia --
just as the Wikileaks "story" unfolded. The Social Democrats refused
to grant Bodstrom a leave of absence while maintaining his parliamentary seat.
Bodstrom resigned his seat. WMR has learned from the Republican Party source
that Bodstrom, upset over the decision of the Social Democrats, is now in
negotiations with Reinfeldt and the Moderates to switch parties. And, we have
learned, the CIA is quietly grooming Bodstrom, a former Swedish soccer star, to
be a future Prime Minister of Sweden for the conservative Moderate Party.

Bodstrom's colleague in the Persson cabinet was Par Nuder, the Minister of
Finance, who also spent a large part of his youth in Israel. At the same time
the Bodstrom family moved to Virginia, Nuder joined the consultant-lobbying
firm of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Albright Stonebridge
Group, which she heads along with former Clinton national security adviser
Sandy Berger and former Senator Warren Rudman (R-NH). Another executive at
Albright Stonebridge is former Bill Clinton foreign policy adviser Wendy
Sherman, who also serves on the Defense Policy Board under Secretary of Defense
Robert Gates.

Bodstrom is also an author of legal thriller novels and he has been called the
"John Grisham of Sweden."

Bodstrom's father is Lennart Bodstrom, the Foreign Minister in the Social
Democratic government of Prime Minister Olof Palme from 1982 to 1985. The elder
Bodstrom was criticized for not heeding warnings that Soviet submarines were
operating in Swedish waters and he survived a rare no-confidence motion against
him in the parliament. However, WMR has learned that it was the CIA, which had arranged
for U.S.-supplied Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) technology to be
transferred to neutral Sweden and Langley did not want details of the system's
capabilities to be tipped off to the Soviets. Lennart Bodstrom's ploy was to
suppress the story of Soviet submarine activity to protect CIA and Swedish
intelligence "sources and methods." WMR has learned that Lennart
Bodstrom's policy of non-engagement on Soviet submarines in Swedish waters was
the result of a personal request by then-Vice President George H. W. Bush.

Bodstrom's law partner is Claes Borgstrom, Sweden's former Equal Opportunities
Ombudsman and an avid, some would call it extremist, supporter of feminist
causes. Borgstrom has been representing the two women who have accused Assange
of sex crimes while he was in Sweden. One of the women, Anna Ardin, described
as a "Christian feminist" has apparently left the country for the
Palestinian West Bank and there are reports that she is no longer cooperating
with the Swedish deputy prosecutor for Gothenburg, Marianne Ny. WMR has also
learned that Bodstrom has had a close relationship with Ny.

The other woman who charged Assange is Sofia Wilen. It has been charged by some
in Sweden that both women accusers were part of a carefully-arranged plot to bring
sex charges against Assange in order to discontinue the Wikileaks Swedish
asylum operation after the ultimate purpose was served: a major international
news event designed to provide support for an increase by governments around
the world, including Sweden, the United Kingdom -- where Assange is now free on
restricted bail -- and the United States, to place draconian curbs on the
Internet.

The ties that link
the Wikileaks affair to a U.S. intelligence operation

One of Bodstrom's publishing outlets is owned by the Bonnier AB of Sweden,
owned by the German-Jewish-descent family that also owns the Swedish tabloid Expressen
and Dagens Nyheter, the largest Swedish morning daily paper. The Bonniers are
Sweden's wealthiest family. Bonnier Magazine Group owns Popular Science, Field
& Stream, Yachting, Parenting, and other magazines in the United States.

In 2009, the Bonnier papers criticized Donald Bostrom for his article in the
Social Democratic-owned paper Aftonbladetthat charged Israel with harvesting
the organs of Palestinians killed by the Israel Defense Force. The Swedish
ambassador to Israel, Elisabet Borsiin Bonnier, broke with her own government
and criticized the Aftonbladet article. Of course, the ambassador is a member
of the family that owns Aftonbladet's competitors. Bostrom's article, that was
condemned for being "anti-Semitic," was later proven to be right on
the mark with the arrest of Israeli and Jewish human organ traffickers in the
United States and elsewhere and the exposure of Israeli-connected trafficking
rings in Kosovo, Moldova, and other countries.

Details of the Assange investigation were leaked to Bonnier-owned Expressen and
it is no coincidence that Borgstrom's two sisters, Annette Kullenberg and
Kerstin Vinterhed, work for papers owned by Bonnier AB. Bonnier director
Jeanette Bonnier began as a reporter for Expressen, which received the inside
information on the Assange "rape" case. Ironically, Jeanette Bonnier
co-wrote the screenplay for the film Män kan inte våldtas ("Men Can't be
Raped."). Under Swedish media policies, the Swedish government provides
financial subsidies to Bonnier AB and other Swedish publishers.

WMR has also learned that Assange and some of his Wikileaks team of ex-computer
hackers had been hired as consultants by the Pentagon to stop Chinese hacking
into Defense Department computer systems. During this operation, Wikileaks personnel
had direct access to the State Department cables. WMR has learned that it was a
cell within the U.S. government that downloaded and copied the cables for the
operation that would be used as an excuse to place restrictive and overarching
government controls on the Internet.
